<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3522410, member: 46237&quot;]I take offense at being called misinformed. I know how to grade. I&#039;m using the term mint state above, not as the numismatic definition (since we are debating that here), but to refer to the literal state a coin is emitted from the mint. I gave examples. Everything I&#039;m saying is correct. Your basic refutement here is that mint state only means what it has come to be accepted to mean. This definition is flawed and fundamentally creates bias against wear. If you don&#039;t have a good argument to refute me (you didn&#039;t even address my chart above) and want to just cherry pick thought exercise examples that were tongue in cheek I can&#039;t stop you. But it&#039;s a shame you won&#039;t engage in this discussion seriously.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
